‘Hereafter Musical’ takes a joyful look at the afterlife
Death and the afterlife might not seem like ideal subjects for a joyful musical. But don’t tell that to Vincent Favale and Frankie Keane, the creators of “Hereafter Musical,” a show that seeks to depict how the living and the deceased think about each other.
“We want people to leave the theater smiling,” Favale told the Brooklyn Eagle in a recent interview.
“Hereafter Musical” is currently in previews at the Snapple Theater at 1627 Broadway (at 50th Street). Opening night is Oct. 25. The Snapple Theater is located on Broadway, but is technically considered an off-Broadway theater. The definition of whether a theater is Broadway or off-Broadway is based on the number of seats in the house.
